Last year we wore the gold jerseys 3 times. All 3 times I thought they were very good looking. Especially against Kansas when the crowd wore gold as well. However we lost all 3 games and they were all relatively close (****). Should we keep wearing them because they are so good looking or stop because they are a curse?

It's the off-season.

They aren't cursed, we just got unlucky.

They looked great, especially for the "Gold Out" against Kansas.

That game at Kansas or at Texas didn't turn out too well and we were wearing Cardinal jerseys. I personally love the gold uniforms. It's something new whereas we've had the Cardinal/White going on 5 years.

Keep wearing them. As it was pointed out, we lose in the cardinal and we lose in the white. No reason to stop wearing those.

I also think they look cool.

I'm a fan. Keep them around only for select games (much like they've been used). If we used them too much I think I would get annoyed with them...

I am of the camp that they need to do away with them. Very unlucky. If I have to wear the exact outfit for every game, then they can avoid the yellow jerseys :)

I think this year is rife for an overall redesign. We've had this template since McDermott's last year, and it's pretty generic (I've seen many other teams with it). It would be a nice way to fully usher in the new era to come up with our own unique design. A modern twist on the "classic" style jersey and shorts from Hoiberg's playing days would be a cool idea, and a nice homage to our coach.

I'm ambivalent about the color part of the gold jerseys, but one thing I do like is how they say "CYCLONES" on them. I hope we keep that.
